Hi Folks

I am a new member and recent convert to these cracking cars,thankfully man-maths and surprisingly supportive better half have presented a car for sale locally here in Ireland.
The car is originally from the UK,and may have been a members car RF05 XYS registration.
If indeed it has been a members car any info on same would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Hey Whirsk,

Have you a link to the For Sale ad, might help in identifying the car?

Must've had the brakes and rear shocks done since 2014 or it would be good to check them over. Parking sensors look a tidy job but i dont like em.

Check the rear arches, look underneath, pull the rubber on the lip back if its present.

Look under the rear bumper with a torch.. the bumper bar rusts like a wrong un..

Other than that, usual
